IMPORTANT
Remember the breakdown safety code
If a breakdown occurs while travelling:
• Wherever possible, consistent with road safety and
traffic conditions, the car should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If a
breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to
the inside of the hard shoulder.
• Switch on hazard lights.
• If available, position a warning triangle or a flashing
amber light 50 to 150 metres (150 to 500 ft) behind
your vehicle to warn approaching traffic. Note it is a
legal requirement of some countries that a warning
triangle is carried in the vehicle, if in doubt consult
the local highways agency for further information.
• Consider evacuating passengers through nearside
doors onto the verge to reduce risk of injury in the
event of collision.

PREFACE
Instructions for Use of Electric Vehicle
Effects of Ambient Temperature
The working performance of the high-voltage battery
pack fitted to your vehicle is related to the ambient
temperature, this battery powers the vehicle power
system and therefore it is recommended that where
possible the vehicle should be used within the temperature
range of -15 to 45. This will ensure that the vehicle is at
the optimum working state, and help extend the service
life of high-voltage battery pack. Extremely high or low
temperatures will affect the performance of high-voltage
battery pack and vehicle.
Instructions for High Voltage Battery Pack
Recycling
The high-voltage battery pack fitted to your vehicle
contains several lithium based battery cells, is installed
centrally to the motor-vehicle chassis. Arbitrary
disposal may cause pollution, hazard and damage to the
environment. The high-voltage battery pack MUST be
recycled by an MG Authorised Repairer or a professional
6
approved dismantling agent. Please refer to the following
information and requirements.
• ONLY qualified personnel should work with the high
voltage system - there is danger of DEATH.
• High voltage safety: the high voltage system fitted to
your vehicle features a HV battery containing high
voltage components such as lithium battery packs
and high voltage wiring harness; DO NOT attempt
to dismantle any area of this system, suitably trained
professional staff must observe insulation safety
protection before working on or near the high voltage
system.
• Transportation: The high-voltage battery pack is
classed as a Category 9 hazardous material and must
be transported by vehicles qualified in transporting
Category 9 hazardous materials.
• Storage: All HV components (including batteries)
should be stored at room temperature and in a dry
environment. They must be kept away from dangerous
sources, such as flammable objects, heat and water
sources.

• Internal composition: The high-voltage battery pack
consists of lithium batteries (pack), PCB, HV and normal
electric wiring, metal casing and other components.
It is strongly recommended that the used high-voltage
battery pack generated from vehicle scrappage or other
reasons should be disposed of by an MG Authorised
Repairer. See official Website for details: www.mg.co.uk.
Note: Instructions: If you decide not to use the
recommended MG Authorised Repairer to dispose of
your high voltage battery, the responsibility of the
consequences of environmental pollution or accidents
must be bourne by the owner.
Driving Range
The driving range depends on the HV battery condition,
quantity of available electricity, vehicle age (current
remaining battery life), weather, temperature, road
conditions and driving habit etc.
The range can be affected by electric loads (such as A/C,
lights etc), driving style, general road conditions.
It should be noted that:
PREFACE
• The driving range is related to rate of discharge. In
order to avoid a high rate of discharge from affecting
the performance of the high-voltage battery pack, it is
recommended that the vehicle is connected to a suitable
charger upon seeing the low battery warning lamp in the
instrument illuminate.
• The actual driving range of vehicle will reduce with the
increase of vehicle age.
• The use of A/C will reduce the driving range.
• The driving range varies at different speeds.
• At low temperatures, the driving range will be reduced
due to temperature characteristics of the battery during
use.
• Under some conditions of extreme temperatures and
low battery voltage, insufficient acceleration or power
reduction may occur due to battery characteristics.
To help increase the range of the vehicle please observe
the following:
• Have the vehicle regularly maintained as per service
schedule.
• Always ensure the tyre pressures are correct.
7
PREFACE
• Try and use the vehicle between the recommended Equalisation Charging
ambient temperatures.
In order to assist in extending the service life of the high
• Do not park or store the vehicle for long periods with voltage battery pack is recommended that an equalisation
a low state of charge, where possible charge the vehicle charge is carried out at regular intervals.
as soon as possible prior to storage.
• Remove unnecessary articles to reduce the vehicle load. Please see "Equalisation Charging" in the "Starting &
Driving" section.
• Use of heavy power consuming systems such as A/C and
heating will use large amounts of power, this will reduce
the driving range.
• At a high speed, where possible, close the windows to
reduce wind resistance and power consumption.
• Try to maintain a steady speed at all times, avoid
constant acceleration and braking.
• During acceleration, apply the accelerator pedal as
gently as possible.
• During deceleration, release the accelerator pedal;
under certain conditions when not applying the brake
or gently applying the brake, the energy regeneration
system (KERS) will assist in charging the HV battery
and extend the driving range.

 PREFACE
High Voltage System
• The high voltage system used on your
vehicle features AC and DC voltages up to
460V. All high voltage components have
warning labels attached - please observe
these warnings and any requirements
when operating within or close to these
areas.
• ONLY qualified personnel should work on,
or with, the high voltage system - there is
danger of DEATH.

Instructions If An Accident Occurs
• Ensure the vehicle is in P, the parking brake is applied and the vehicle power system is OFF
• If any cables on the vehicle are exposed, in order to prevent electric shock or even death DO NOT
make any contact with any cable.
• If the vehicle catches fire, and the fire is small and slow, a carbon dioxide extinguisher can be used
to extinguish the fire, and contact the fire department as soon as possible; if the fire is large and
spreading quickly, immediately evacuate the vehicle and contact the fire department immediately.
• If the vehicle is involved in a collision and cannot be re-started, the master safety switch (MSD) MUST
be disconnected prior to rescue.
• When the vehicle is completely or partially immersed in water, switch off the vehicle power system
and evacuate the car immediately. The master safety switch (MSD) MUST be disconnected prior to
rescue or as soon as the vehicle is refloated/removed from the water. Observe the water/vehicle for
any abnormal signs such as excessive bubbles or noises, this may indicate battery short circuit issues, if
no signs are evident there should not be a shock risk from the bodywork and recovery can commence.
• If your car is being recovered by an independent recovery agent, please contact MG Authorised
Repairer for maintenance.
• The vehicle is supplied with a rescue information card (in the glove box). Please show the card to the
rescue personnel when they arrive.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Smart main beam system serves only as an
auxiliary function. The driver still needs
to check the status of the front lamps and
operate them accordingly when necessary.
For example: The main beam may not be
turned off automatically in the following
cases, thus the manual switching between
the main beam and dipped beam is required:
• The windscreen is dirty, broken or
obstructed by other objects blocking the
view of the sensor.
• The lamps of other vehicles are missing,
damaged, obscured or partially obscured
so that your vehicle is unable detect
another vehicle.
• The lamps of other vehicles are obscured
or partially obscured by smoke, fog, snow,
water spray or any other conditions that
effect visibility.
• When pedestrians, non-motor vehicles
and other objects that emit or reflect no
light are encountered.
• When the headlamps and tail lamps of
other vehicles cannot be detected due to
the sensor view is impaired due undulating
road conditions such as bends, dips or hills.
• If the angle of the sensor is out of
tolerance due to the car pitch angle being
excessive when carrying heavy loads.
In any of the cases mentioned above (but not
limited to) the smart main beam operation
may require switching off.
The smart main beam system uses the front view camera
to detect the light intensity of the vehicle ahead. The main
beam lamps can be switched on or off automatically by
the system when the surroundings are dark and no light
detected.
To enable the smart main beam system, the following
conditions should be met:
1 The master lighting switch must be in the 'Auto'
position and the dipped beam lamps switched on via
automatic control.

46
 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
2 The vehicle is powered and the speed is above 25mph
(40km/h).
3 The rear fog lamps are not turned on.
When the smart main beam system is enabled, the auto
main beam indicator on the instrument pack illuminates.
The main beam lamps will remain on under automatic
control until any of the following conditions occur:
• The system detects the headlamps of approaching
vehicles.
• The system detects the tail lamps of vehicles ahead.
• The surroundings become bright enough not to require
main beam.
• The vehicle speed drops below the 25mph (40 km/h)
threshold.
The system will temporarily suspend the smart main beam
function once the following conditions are met:
With the smart main beam system enabled, instantaneously
pull the lighting lever towards the steering wheel, the smart
main beam function will be temporarily suspended and it
will recover after the switch is released.
Note: Continuously operating the main beam switch 1
within 2 seconds will retain the main beam lamps
under automatic control.
IMPORTANT
The smart main beam function uses data from the front
view camera, always keep the windscreen clean and
free from residue in this area to maintain optimum
performance of this system. Any damage in this area,
such as stonechips must be repaired at the earliest
convenience.

Seat Belts
It is important that all seat belts are worn
correctly. Always check that all passengers
are wearing seat belts. DO NOT carry
passengers that are unable to wear correctly
positioned seat belts. Wearing seat belts
incorrectly may cause serious injury or even
death in the event of a collision.
Airbags can not replace seat belts. Airbags
can only provide extra support when
triggered, and not all traffic accidents
will trigger airbags. Whether airbags are
triggered or not, seat belts can reduce the
risks of serious injury or death in accidents.
Therefore, seat belts must be worn properly.
NEVER unfasten a seat belt whilst driving,
serious injury or death may occur in the case
of an accident or emergency braking.
94
This vehicle is equipped with a seat belt warning
lamp to remind you to fasten your seat belt.
During driving, seat belts must be fastened，this is because:
• You can never predict if you will be involved in a collision
accident and how serious it may be.
• In many cases of collision accidents, passengers with
seat belts properly fastened are well-protected, while
passengers with seat belts not fastened suffer from
serious injury or even death.
Therefore, all passengers must wear seat belts correctly,
even during short-distance journeys.
Protection Provided by Seat Belts
It is of equal importance for passengers in the
rear seat to fasten their seat belts correctly.
Otherwise, passengers with seat belts not
correctly fastened will be thrown forward in
accidents, and will endanger themselves as
well as the driver and other passengers.
 SEATS & RESTRAINTS
When the vehicle is in motion, the travelling speed of the
occupants is identical to that of the vehicle.
In the event of a ‘head on collision’ or emergency braking,
the vehicle may stop, but the occupants will carry on
travelling until they come into contact with a stationary
object. This object may be the steering wheel, dashboard,
windscreen or front seats. 3
A correctly fastened seat belt will eliminate this risk of
injury. When the seat belt is worn correctly, it will lock
automatically in collision accidents or emergency braking
to reduce your speed together with the vehicle, so as
to prevent the out-of-control movement which may cause
serious injury to driver and passengers.

SEATS & RESTRAINTS
Wearing Seat Belts
Incorrectly worn seat belts could cause injury
or death in the event of an accident.
Seat belts are designed for one person, DO
NOT share seat belts.
DO NOT wrap a seat belt around when
holding a baby or child in your arms.
Remove any heavy coats or clothing when
wearing a seat belt, failure to do so can affect
protection provided by the seat belt.
Seat belts cannot function correctly when the
seats are reclined excessively. DO NOT drive
when the seats are excessively reclined.
The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for use
by normal sized adults. This part of the literature refers to
adult use.
All seat belts are 3 point lap-diagonal belts.
In order to maintain effective protection, the passengers
must sit in the correct orientation, feet placed on the floor
in front of them, with an upright body (no excessive recline)
and the seat belt correctly fastened.

Seat belts should not be wrapped around

hard or sharp objects such as pens, spectacles
or keys.

slightly and then pull it across your body slowly.
• If it is difficult to pull the seat belt out, it may be due
to twisted webbing. If this is the case, fully extract
the seat belt, remove the twist, allow the seat belt
to retract slowly.
• When using the rear seat belts please ensure they
are fully retracted into the correct position to
avoid jamming in the rear seat catches. It is a legal
requirement to wear seat belts. Even if the seat belt
is twisted it must be worn. Where possible avoid
the twisted section contacting the body and seek
advice from an MG Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible. When wearing seat belts, the lap belt section should be
positioned as low as possible across your hips, never across
the abdomen. In the event of a collision, the lap belt can
apply a force on the hips and reduce the possibility of you

 SEATS & RESTRAINTS
slipping under the lap belt. If you slip under the lap belt, the
belt will apply force on your abdomen, which may cause
serious or fatal injuries. The diagonal section of the belt
should cross the middle of the shoulder and the chest. In
the event of emergency braking or collision, the diagonal
section of the belt will be locked.
To ensure that the seat belts always provide maximum 3
protection, ensure the belt is flat, not loose and contacts
the body.

Seat Belts Use during Pregnancy

Wearing correctly positioned seat belts will provide
protection for both mother and unborn child in the event
of a collision or emergency braking.
The diagonal section of the seat belt should pass across
the chest as normal, the lap section of the belt should pass
below the belly, low and snug on the hip bones. NEVER
position the belt on or above the belly.

easy release in the event of an emergency.
Please follow the instructions below to regularly check
whether the seat belt warning lamp, seat belt, metal tab,
buckle, retractor and fixing device are working correctly:
• Insert the seat belt metal tab into the corresponding
buckle and pull seat belt webbing close to the buckle
quickly to check that the belt clasp locks.
• Hold the metal tab and pull the seat belt forward quickly
to check that the seat belt reel locks automatically,
preventing the webbing from extending.

• Fully extract the seat belt and visibly examine for twists,
fraying, splits or worn areas.
• Fully extract the seat belt and allow to return slowly to
ensure continual and complete smooth operation.
• Visibly examine the seat belt for missing or broken
components.
• Ensure the seat belt warning system is fully functional.

Airbag Deployment
Front seat passengers should not place feet,
knees or any other part of the body in contact
with, or in close proximity to a front airbag.
To minimise the risk of accidental injury from
inflating airbags, seat belts should be worn 3
correctly at all times. In addition, both driver
and front seat passenger should adjust their
seat to provide sufficient distance from the
front airbags. If side airbags/side head impact
protection airbags are fitted, both driver and
front seat passenger should be seated to
maintain sufficient distance from the upper
part of the body to the sides of the vehicle,
this will ensure maximum protection when
the side airbags/side head impact protection
airbags are deployed.
105
SEATS & RESTRAINTS
When airbags are deployed, children without
proper protection may suffer from serious
injury or even death. DO NOT carry children
in the arms or on the knees during traveling.
Children should wear seat belts suitable to
age. DO NOT lean out of windows.
An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions
and other injuries if the occupant is too close
to the airbag at the time of its deployment.
DO NOT affix or place any objects on, or
adjacent to the airbags. This may affect the
airbag passage or create projectiles that may
cause injury or serious harm in the event of
airbag deployment.
After deployment the airbag components
become very hot. DO NOT touch any airbag
related components, it may cause burns or
serious injury.
106
DO NOT knock or strike the position where
airbags or related parts are located, so as
to avoid accidental airbag deployment which
may cause serious injury or even death.
In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit monitors
the rate of deceleration or acceleration induced by the
collision, to determine whether the airbags should be
deployed. Airbag deployment is virtually instantaneous
and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a
loud noise.
Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated and
with seat belts properly worn, the airbags will provide
additional protection to the chest and facial areas in the
event of the car receiving a severe frontal impact.
Side airbags and side head impact protection airbags are
designed to offer additional protection to the side of the
body facing the impact, if a severe side collision occurs.

IMPORTANT
• Airbags can not protect lower body parts of
passengers.
• Airbags are not designed for rear collision, minor
frontal or side impacts, or if the vehicle overturns;
nor will it operate as a result of heavy braking.
• Deployment and retraction of the frontal and side
airbags takes place very quickly and will not protect
against the effects of secondary impacts that may
occur.
• When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released.
This is not an indication of a malfunction, however,
the powder may cause irritation to the skin and
should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and any
cuts or abrasions of the skin.
• After inflation, front and side airbags deflate
immediately. This provides a gradual cushioning
effect for the occupant and also ensures that the
driver's forward vision is not obscured.

Front seat passengers should not place feet,
knees or any other part of the body in contact
with, or in close proximity to a front airbag.
In extreme cases driving on very uneven
surfaces may cause airbag deployment.
Please take extra care when driving on
uneven roads.
Airbags are designed to deploy during serious impacts, the
following conditions may cause airbag deployment.
• A frontal collision with unmovable or non deformable
solid objects at a high speed.
• Conditions that can cause serious chassis damage, such
as a collision with kerbstones, road edges, deep ravines
or holes.

Seat Side Airbags
The manufacture and material of the seat
is critical to the correct operation of side
airbags. Therefore, please DO NOT fit
seat covers which may affect side airbag
deployment.
In the event of a serious side impact, the relevant side airbag
will deploy (only the affected side).
• The airbag will be deployed in the event that the side of
the vehicle is impacted with a solid object or another
vehicle.
Side Head Impact Protection Airbags
In the event of a serious side impact, the relevant side
curtain airbag will deploy (only the affected side).
• The side curtain airbag will be deployed in the event that
the side of the vehicle is impacted with a solid object or
another vehicle.
108
Conditions in Which Airbags Will Not
Deploy
The deployment of airbags does not depend on the vehicle
speed, but on the object that the vehicle hits, angle of
impact and the rate at which the car changes speed as a
result of a collision. When the impact force of collision
is absorbed or dispersed to vehicle body, airbags may not
deploy; however, airbags may sometimes deploy according
to impact condition. Therefore, the deployment of airbags
shall not be judged based on the severity of vehicle damage.
Front Airbags
Under certain conditions the front airbags may not be
deployed. Some examples are listed below:
• The impact point is not central to the front of the
vehicle.
• The impact is not of sufficient force (the impact is with
an object that is not solid, such as a lamp post or central

Child Restraints
Important Safety Instructions about Using
Child Restraints
It is recommended that children below the age of 12 years
old should be seated on the rear seat of the vehicle, in a
child restraint system appropriate to the children's weight
and size. Infants less than 2 years old should be restrained
in an infant child restraint system.
It is recommended that a child restraint system that
complies with UN ECE-R44 or ECE-R129 standard are
fitted in this vehicle. Check markings on the child restraint
system.
There are a number of child restraint systems available of
different type and specification. For optimum protection,
it is recommended that you choose restraint systems
appropriate to the child’s age and weight.
It is important to comply with installation instructions
supplied by the child restraint manufacturer and that child
restraint system is properly secured to the vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause death or serious
injury to the child in an event of a sudden stop or accident.
SEATS & RESTRAINTS
• All occupants, including children must wear seat belts
or use an appropriate child restraint.
• It is recommended that children under 12 years of age
or less than 1.5 metres tall should use the appropriate
child restraint fitted to the rear seat.
• Only one child can be carried in any one restraint.
• Do not put the child on the lap or in arms when sitting 3
in any seat.
• Always adjust the seat back rest to a central position
and ensure it is locked in position when installing a child
seat or restraint.
• If installing a rear facing child restraint to the rear
seat, the corresponding front seat should be adjusted
forward; if installing a forward facing child restraint
to the rear seat, you may need to adjust the height
of the headrest to the lowest; if installing a forward
facing child restraint to the front seat, you may need to
remove its headrest.
• Never let your child stand or kneel on the seat during
driving.
• Always ensure the child is seated correctly in the child
restraint.
113
SEATS & RESTRAINTS
• The ways of using seat belts have a great influence on
the maximum protection offered by the seat belt, you
must comply with the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions on proper use of seat belts. If seat belts
are not properly fastened, a minor traffic accident may
also lead to injury.
• Child restraints that are not fitted correctly may move
and injure other occupants in the event of an accident
or emergency braking. Therefore, even if there is no
infant or child in the child restraint, it also should be
fitted properly and securely in the vehicle.
Warnings and Instructions on Use of Child
Restraint on Front Passenger Seat

the CHILD can occur.
In cases where there is a need to install a rear
facing child restraint on the front passenger
seat, use the key to deactivate the front

or even death can occur.
Once the child restraint is removed from the
front passenger seat, use the key to reactivate
the front passenger airbag.
When installing a child restraint on the front
passenger seat, move the front passenger
seat as far rearward as possible.
Use one child restraint per child.

Please study the safety warning label on the sun visor.
Where possible always install child restraints on the rear
seat. If it is necessary to install a child restraint on the front
seat please observe the warnings above.
Children's Safety and Side Airbags
Children should not be allowed in areas
where airbags may be deployed, there is a
risk of serious injury.
SEATS & RESTRAINTS
the airbags or items in the side airbag deployment area
may cause injury.
When the correct child restraint is used to secure the
child properly in the rear seat and the child's seating
position is correct, there is enough space between the
child and the side airbag deployment region for the airbag
to deploy without any hindrance, and thus provide the 3
best protection.

Only recommended child restraints suitable

for the age, height and weight of the child
should be used.

DO NOT place any items in areas where

airbags may be deployed, there is a risk of
serious injury.

In the event of a side collision, the side airbags can provide

better protection for the passenger. However, when
the airbag is triggered a very strong expansion force is
generated, if the passenger's seating position is not correct,

STARTING & DRIVING
Economical and Environmental Driving
Running-in
The brakes and tyres need time to 'bed-in' and adjust to
the demands of everyday motoring. During the first 900
miles, please avoid heavy braking where possible.
140
Economic Driving
The way in which you drive your car has a significant
bearing on the life span of the car and battery.
Drive Smoothly
Anticipating obstructions and slowing down well in
advance, avoids the need for unnecessary acceleration and
harsh braking. A smooth driving style not only improves
battery/distance performance, but can reduce the amount
of wear on the brakes and tyres.
Avoid Driving at Maximum Speed
Power consumption and noise levels rise significantly at
higher speeds.
Driving Foreseeingly
Avoid roads with traffic congestion or traffic jams. Foresee
road congestion as early as possible and keep enough
distance to the front car during driving, and slow down
in time. Avoid stamping on the brake pedal for long time
if there is no braking need, which will cause friction plate
overheating and premature wear.
 STARTING & DRIVING
Use of Electrical Equipment Driving in Special Environment
Use of electrical equipment will reduce the power available Driving in Rain or Snow

• When raining the windows may fog, reducing visibility

(Use the Air-conditioning demist function).
• Grip will be reduced, so please drive carefully. 4
• Reduce speed when it rains. Avoid aquaplaning (the
effect of a film of water between the tyres and the road)
affecting steering and braking performance.
Driving through Water
Avoid driving through floods after heavy rain, which may
lead to serious damage to the vehicle.

141
STARTING & DRIVING
Check and Service
Check Tyre Pressures Regularly
Under-inflated tyres increase the rolling resistance of the
car which, in turn, increases power consumption. Over or
under-inflated tyres wear out more rapidly and also have a
detrimental effect on the car’s handling characteristics.

Do not Carry Unnecessary Loads

The additional weight of unnecessary loads wastes power,
especially in stop/start conditions where the car is
frequently required to set off from stationary.

Maintain Correct Four-Wheel Alignment

Maintain the correct wheel alignment. Avoid collisions
with the kerb and reduce speed on uneven road surfaces.
Out of specification wheel alignment will not only lead to
excessive tyre wear, but also increases the load and power
consumption.

Vehicle Control
Vehicle Control System
The vehicle control system is used to collect data regarding
the requirements from the driver (accelerator pedal, brake
pedal, gear shift selection etc), it uses this information to
adjust the driving stability and ride comfort, and to limit
the output torque of the vehicle according to the vehicle
condition (practical capabilities of current high-voltage
battery pack and drive motor).
Driving Mode
The driver is able to select different driving modes to
suit their requirement. In different driving modes, the
vehicle control system can use different control strategies
for output control. For operation mode, please refer to
‘Driving Mode’ in ‘Electric Drive System (EDS)’ chapter.
Energy Regeneration (KERS)
Whilst the vehicle is in an over-run, coasting or braking
condition the vehicle will enter the KERS mode, converting
part of the kinetic energy into electric energy by driving

Energy Regeneration (KERS)
Deceleration effected by energy regeneration
is NOT a substitute for braking safely. The
driver must ALWAYS be prepared to make
braking manoeuvres to maintain safe driving.
When the vehicle is in a braking, over-run or coasting
state, the energy regeneration function is activated, and
the motor converts part of the kinetic energy of the vehicle
into electric energy, which is then stored in the high voltage
battery.
Energy cannot be regenerated or limited under some
conditions, such as:
• N gear is selected ( During driving do not coast in N
gear ) ;
• During torque intervention (SCS or traction control
operation) ;
• High voltage battery is fully charged;
• High voltage battery temperature is too high or too low.

Brake System
Foot Brake
For added safety, the hydraulic braking system operates
through dual circuits. If one circuit should fail, the other
will continue to function, but greater pedal pressure will
be needed, and increased brake pedal travel, and longer
stopping distances will be experienced. In the event of a
brake failure where only one circuit is operational, the car
should be brought to a halt as soon as traffic conditions
safely allow. DO NOT continue driving - seek an MG
Authorised Repairer.
Servo Assistance
The braking system is servo assisted, always be aware of
the followings during the operation:
• The servo assistance function is reliant upon vacuum,
vacuum is only produced whilst the vehicle power
system is ON or READY/RUNNING. NEVER allow the
car to coast when the vehicle power system is OFF.
• Vacuum to support the system is provided by an electric
vacuum pump. DO NOT continually pump the brake

pedal, this may affect the vacuum pump efficiency, the
braking system may be unable to provide sufficient
brake assist and the vehicle speed will be limited. If
this situation does occur or is unavoidable, when it is
safe to do so, please pull over and allow the electric

the vehicle again, to return to normal.
• If the prompt message "Vacuum System Fault" is
displayed in the information message centre, bring
the car to a halt as quickly as traffic conditions safely 4
allow and contact an MG Authorised Repairer as soon
as possible. At this time, the braking system may be
unable to provide sufficient braking force, DO NOT
drive the vehicle.
• The efficiency of the brake servo booster can be
affected by numerous conditions, such as change of
atmospheric pressure due to altitude differences. These
conditions could result in extra force being required to
operate the brake pedal to stop the car.
Wet Conditions
Driving through water or heavy rain may adversely affect
braking efficiency. The SCS (Stability Control System)
169
STARTING & DRIVING
includes a Brake Disc Wiping function which is activated
when the windscreen wipers are used. However, always
keep a safe distance from other vehicles and intermittently
apply the brake pedal in conditions where the wipers are
not used.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Your car is equipped with Electronic Brake Force
Distribution, which, in order to maintain braking efficiency,
distributes braking forces between front and rear wheels,
under all load conditions.
EBD integrates a monitoring system. The monitoring
system is linked to the brake system malfunction indicator
lamp on the instrument pack. Refer to "Warning Lights
and Indicators" in "Instruments and Controls" section.
If the indicator lamp illuminates while driving, or remains
illuminated after the vehicle power system is switched
ON/READY, it indicates there is a failure with the braking
system, and EBD may be inoperative. In such a case,
stop the car as soon as safety permits and seek an MG
Authorised Repairer immediately. DO NOT drive the
170
car with the braking system malfunction indicator lamp
illuminated.
Electronic Brake Assistance (EBA)
Your car is equipped with Electronic Brake Assist, which
reacts to the speed at which the brake pedal is applied. If,
in an emergency situation the brakes are applied faster than
the limits set within the system, then full ABS application is
applied to bring the car to a stop in the shortest possible
distance.
Hill Hold Control (HHC)
HHC has limitations when subject to adverse
conditions such as wet or icy surfaces and
steep slopes.
HHC is not a substitute for parking brake
application when carrying out a hill start.
DO NOT exit the vehicle with only HHC
applied, it may lead to a serious accident
when HHC releases.

The car may roll if 'pull-away' is not achieved
immediately after releasing the brake pedal.
Always ensure the brake pedal is pressed or
electronic parking brake applied until drive is
taken up.
Firm application of the brake pedal when
stopping is required by HHC to generate
sufficient brake pressure to maintain hold.
Hill Hold Control is a comfort function. It works on
inclines when the car detects it has come to a ‘stand still
status’. As long as D or R is selected and the brake pedal
released, the vehicle will maintain pressure in the braking
system for 1 – 2 seconds. After this, the Hill Hold will
release.
HHC assists the driver by 'holding' the vehicle during hill
starts.
The following conditions must be fulfilled to activate HHC:
• The driver's door is closed and the driver seat belt is
fastened.
STARTING & DRIVING
• The vehicle is stopped on a slope in excess of 4% and
for more than 2 seconds.
• SCS is active and fault free.
• EPB is released and fault free.
• In D or R gear.
• Power system is READY/RUNNING.
• Sufficient brake pedal application force has been applied.
If the driver releases the brake pedal on a hill, HHC will
maintain brake pressure for 1 - 2 seconds, after this period
the vehicle may roll backwards.
4
Note: HHC cannot overcome physical limitations. DO
NOT solely rely on HHC.
Note: HHC is available in both forward and backward
directions when pulling away on uphill slopes.
Note: If "Hill Hold Unavailable" is displayed in the
information message centre it indicates that the
system has detected a fault or another system may be
preventing correct operation. Please contact an MG
Authorised Repairer as soon as possible.
171
STARTING & DRIVING
Hill Descent Control (HDC)
The HDC system is only an auxiliary
function. It has limitations when subject to
adverse conditions such as wet or icy surfaces
and steep slopes. The HDC system cannot
overcome the laws of physics, always ensure
that the vehicle is driven down steep slopes
at low speeds.
Even when the HDC system is switched on,
the driver must always pay close attention
to the driving state of the vehicle, and take
active control when necessary. In certain
cases, HDC may be suspended or switched
off temporarily.
During some driving conditions on downhill
surfaces (e.g. driving down a slope at
high speed or small slope, etc.), HDC is
inoperative, the driver must maintain control
of the vehicle at all times and use brake
applications to ensure safety.
172
The HDC system is an auxiliary function specially designed
for driving on acute downhill gradients. The system
reduces the speed by applying brake force, thus assisting
the driver to drive on acute downhill surfaces with low
speeds.
Please DO NOT use this function when driving on the
ordinary roads.
When the HDC is working, the brake system may
generate strong vibrations or noise. It is normal during
the operation of HDC.
Note: During the operation of the hill descent control
(HDC) system, please do not move the shift control
knob to the "N" position. Such operation may
deactivate the HDC function.
HDC System On/Off
When the vehicle power system is placed in ON/READY
position, HDC system defaults to off. Use the switch
function within the infotainment system to turn the HDC
system on/off.
Normally, HDC system has four states:

a distance, cornering at too high a speed, or
the danger of aquaplaning, i.e. where a layer
of water prevents adequate contact between
the tyres and the road surface.

The purpose of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is to

prevent the wheels from locking while braking, thereby
enabling the driver to retain steering control of the car.
The fact that a car is fitted with ABS must never tempt
the driver into taking risks that could affect his/her safety
or that of other road users. In all cases, it remains
the driver's responsibility to drive within normal safety
margins, having due consideration for prevailing weather
and traffic conditions.
Under normal braking conditions, ABS will not be
activated. However, once the braking force exceeds the
available adhesion between the tires and the road surface,
thereby causing the wheels to lock, ABS will automatically

system may be greater than that for a non-ABS system,
even improved steering would be experienced. This is
because the natural action of locked wheels on soft
surfaces is to build up a wedge of material in front of
(or to the side of, if steering) the tyre contact patch.
This effect assists the car to stop when braking or to
change direction when steering.
No matter how hard you brake, you are still able to
continue steering the vehicle as normal.

175
STARTING & DRIVING
Auto Hold
When auto hold stops the vehicle, for reasons
such as shutting down the power system,
releasing the seat belt or pressing the auto
hold switch, the electronic parking brake is
applied. It cannot be guaranteed that the
vehicle will be stabilised in all cases. For
example, the rear wheels are on a slippery
road surface, or the vehicle incline is too
great (larger than 20%). Please make sure
that the vehicle is safely stabilised prior to
exiting.
DO NOT take any extra risks when driving
due to the fact the vehicle is fitted with
additional convenience functions. The driver
should pay full attention and observe the
surroundings even if the vehicle is equipped
with auto hold system.
The auto hold function cannot guarantee the
stability of the vehicle when starting off or
braking on hills especially on slippery or icy
surfaces.
DO NOT leave the vehicle when the power
system is operating and the auto hold is
active.
Auto hold cannot guarantee the electronic
parking brake operation in all cases where
the power system is shut down. Please ensure
the electronic parking brake is applied and
the vehicle is stabilised prior to exiting the
vehicle.
The auto hold function should be switched off
during the use of automatic car washes, the
electronic parking brake may suddenly apply
and cause vehicle damage.

If the vehicle is required to stop frequently for a length of

time (such as traffic lights, traffic queues or stop/start), and
the power system is running, the auto hold system assists
in stabilising the vehicle, enabling you to remove your foot

176
 STARTING & DRIVING
from the brake pedal when the vehicle is stationary and the
Auto Hold active.
Auto hold has 3 main states:
1 Off: Function in Off state.
2 Standby: Function in Standby state. The function is
active but the vehicle has not stopped. Once the
vehicle has stopped, and all other conditions are met,
the system will automatically select Park.
3 Parking: Function in Parked state. In this state the 4
green indicator on the instrument pack illuminates.

With the driver's seat belt fastened, the door closed and
the power system operating, press the auto hold switch to
switch the auto hold function from Off to Standby state.
With the brake pedal firmly pressed and the vehicle
completely stopped, the auto hold function will switch
from the Standby state to the Parking state.

177
STARTING & DRIVING
When the auto hold is in the Parking state, engaging D or R
and pressing the accelerator will automatically release the
auto hold function.
In some circumstances such as releasing the seat belt,
switching off the power system or remaining static for a
length of time it will result in the vehicle exiting the auto
hold Parking state. At this time the electronic parking
brake will remain applied and will require the driver to
release it using the switch.
Note: With the brake pedal pressed, operating the
switch to turn the auto hold off, the system will NOT
apply the parking brake.
Note: It is recommended to turn off the auto hold
function when reversing into the garage.
Active Rollover Protection (ARP)
The ARP system cannot overcome the laws of
physics. It is a driver aid to assist the stability
of the vehicle and under extreme conditions.
It is not a guarantee that the car will not roll
over.
178
In cases where the vehicle has a high centre of mass, rapid
or excessive dual direction lane changing may create a
roll condition. ARP may use the braking system to apply
certain brakes to try and correct the condition and assist
in preventing rollover.
Note: During ARP application the steering
characteristics of the vehicle may be noticeably
different from normal.
Emergency Braking Hazard Warning Lights
Control (HAZ)
If the vehicle is travelling in excess of 31mph (50km/h) and
the driver makes an emergency braking manoeuvre, the
system will automatically flash the brake lamps to remind
the following drivers, thereby effectively reducing the risk
of rear-end collision accidents.
Note: If the hazard warning lights are being operated
manually, this suspends the HAZ function.
When the emergency braking manoeuvre is exited (no
severe deceleration detected) then the function will be
switched off after a few seconds.

failure and slip.
• In the event of a flat battery or power failure it is
not possible to apply or release the EPB. If using
'jump leads' to temporarily supply power please see
'Emergency Starting' in the Emergency Information.
Releasing the EPB
If the vehicle is stably parked on a flat road or slight
incline/decline, the vehicle power system is READY, press
the brake pedal to allow the shift control system to switch
from P to N, D or R, the EPB will automatically released.
If on a steep slope, switching from the P position will not

the EPB as follows or apply the start assist function of the
EPB to release the EPB.

• Ensure the vehicle power system is set to the
ON/READY position, press the brake pedal and the
EPB switch.
• If the indicator in the EPB switch and the indicator in
the instrument pack are extinguished, the EPB is
released.
Start Assist
The EPB can predict the driver's intention and
automatically release the EPB.
If the driver's seat belt is fastened, the power system is

Emergency Braking Function
Inappropriate use of the EPB can lead to
accidents and injuries. Do not apply the EPB
for vehicle braking, unless in emergency.
STARTING & DRIVING
During the deceleration of the vehicle with
EPB, DO NOT switch the vehicle power
system OFF, this could result in serious injury.
In the event of normal brake failure, emergency braking
using the EPB can be initiated by pulling and holding the
EPB switch upward.
• If the SCS can respond actively to the request from the
EPB, the SCS will activate and apply all 4 brakes. If the
SCS is unable to respond to the request from the EPB, 4

STARTING & DRIVING
Stability Control System (SCS) and
Traction Control System (TCS)
Stability Control System (SCS)
SCS is designed to assist the driver in control of driving
direction. The SCS is automatically activated after the
power system is started.
When SCS detects that the vehicle is not moving in the
intended direction, it will intervene by applying brake force
to selected wheels or through the power management
system to prevent sliding and assist in bringing the car back
to the right direction.
Stability Control System (SCS) refers to Electronic Stability
Control System (ESC) in this handbook.
Traction Control System (TCS)
TCS contributes to maintain the control to the vehicle
by improving the vehicle's traction trafficability and driving
stability. TCS monitors the driving speed of each wheel
individually. If spin is detected on one wheel, the system
automatically brakes that wheel, transferring torque to the
182
opposite, non-spinning wheel. If both wheels are spinning,
the system will reduce the output torque of the power
system in order to regulate wheel rotation until traction is
regained.
Switching On/Off
SCS and TCS are automatically switched to standby when
the vehicle power system placed in ON/READY position.
And they can be switched off when the power system is
ready.
To switch the system off, please refer to "Information
Centre" in "Instruments and Controls" section.
Note: Disabling SCS and TCS will not affect the
operation of ABS. Always disable SCS/TCS when
driving with snow chains fitted.

between 20 - 90 mph (30 - 150km/h)or car following
cruise control by setting the distance between the vehicle
and the vehicles directly ahead.
When activated if the ACC system detects a car in the
same lane directly ahead it may accelerate or gently apply
the brakes of the car to maintain the set following distance.
Note: The Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) is
designed for motorway cruising or any other journey
where a constant speed or distance between your

is greater than the cruise target speed of your vehicle,
your vehicle will maintain the target speed to conduct
constant speed cruise; if the speed of the vehicle ahead
is lower than the cruise target speed of your vehicle,
it will enter the car-following cruise, an image of your
car and the car ahead separated by a grid is displayed
in the instrument pack message centre, in this mode
the actual speed may be less than the set target
speed. Whilst in the car following cruise mode, you
can follow the vehicle ahead to a stop, if the amount
of time that the vehicle is in a stopped condition is
less than approximately 3 seconds your vehicle may
automatically pull away to follow the vehicle ahead, if
the stopped time exceeds 3 seconds your car will not
automatically pull away, you will receive a prompt in
the instrument pack message centre requesting you
to re-activate the adaptive cruise control using the
method displayed.
STARTING & DRIVING
After following the vehicle ahead to a
stop, the driver must observe any local
traffic laws and ensure that there are no
obstacles or other traffic participants,
such as pedestrians, directly in front of
the vehicle before allowing it to pull away
and begin to follow the vehicle ahead

Adaptive Cruise Target Speed Adjustment
In order to set the target speed, the adaptive cruise control
system must be in an active state, the green adaptive cruise
control indicator in the instrument pack will illuminate.
STARTING & DRIVING
Use the accelerator pedal to reach the desired speed, short
press the 'Set' button (6) on the end of the adaptive cruise
switch lever, release the control button and accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will cruise at the desired speed.
Move the lever switch upward (1) and hold, the target
speed will increase until the desired set speed appears in
the instrument pack, then release the switch. When it is
confirmed that there is no vehicle in front of your vehicle
or the vehicle ahead exceeds the preselected following
distance, the speed will be increased to the set speed. 4
Move the lever switch downward (2) and hold, the target
speed will decrease until the desired set speed appears in
the instrument pack, then release the switch. When it is
determined that the vehicle ahead driving slowly is within
the pre-selected following distance, the vehicle speed will
decrease and keep the selected following distance.
Note: Briefly operate the adaptive cruise lever switch
upward (1) or downward (2) once, the target speed will
change 5mph / 5km/h, press and hold the lever upward
or downward and the speed will increase or decrease in
1mph / 1km/h increments, release the lever when the
desired speed reading is displayed.

When the adaptive cruise control system is activated,
rotate the switch on the end of the lever upward (8 ) or
downward (9) to adjust the following distance, you are
able to toggle between 3 distance settings, the current
following distance setting will be stored by the system
until it is changed, and displayed in the message centre in
the instrument pack.
Always select an appropriate following distance that is
relative to the current speed of your vehicle and the
vehicle you are following, the greater the speed, the
further the distance. ALWAYS consider current traffic,
road and weather conditions when making your selection.
188
Adaptive Cruise Pause
When the adaptive cruise control system is activated, move
the lever switch to the 'Cancel' position (3), and the system
will exit to the Standby state.
Automatic Deactivation of Adaptive Cruise
In the following situations, the ACC may be automatically
deactivated, this transfers full control of the vehicle to the
driver.
• Move the lever switch to 'Off' position (7).
• Press the brake pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
• Move the shift knob away from the D position.
• The driver unfastens his/her seat belt.
• Press and hold the accelerator pedal beyond a preset
time period.
• Open any door, bonnet or tailgate.
• Pull the EPB switch up to apply the parking brake.
• Follow the vehicle ahead to a stop and the stop time
exceeds 3 mins.

• The sensor or radar view is blocked, the ambient light
condition triggers the preset safe exit mechanism of the
light sensor, or the system fails.
Note: If following the vehicle ahead to a stop with
the adaptive cruise control system enabled, if any of
the following conditions occur whilst the vehicle is in a
stopped state, the EPB will automatically be applied:
• The driver unfastens his/her seat belt.
• The driver door is opened.
• The stop time exceeds 3 mins.
Adaptive Cruise Override
If the driver has cause to use the accelerator pedal when
the ACC is activated, the vehicle will remain in Cruise state
while the vehicle speed increases. When the accelerator
pedal is released, the ACC will resume to operate at
previously set cruise speed.
If the driver accelerates to a higher speed and then releases
the accelerator the ACC will decrease to the target cruise
speed in a more gradual manner. If it is necessary to
decrease to the target cruise speed rapidly, the driver may
manually move the lever switch 'Deceleration' (2).
STARTING & DRIVING
Note: If the accelerator pedal is pressed and held
above the preset time period the ACC may exit to the
Standby state.
Adaptive Cruise Resume
If the ACC system has reverted to, or been switched to,
the Standby state it can be reactivated by moving the lever
switch to 'Resume' position (5). The target cruise speed
will automatically be set to the target speed before exiting
the adaptive cruise control system. 4
When driving at a high speed, if the driver resumes to
a lower target cruise speed, the ACC will decrease to
the target cruise speed in a more gradual manner. If
it is necessary to decrease to the target cruise speed
rapidly, the driver may manually move the lever switch
'Deceleration' (2).
189
STARTING & DRIVING
Clear the Speed Memory
If the lever switch is moved to the 'OFF' position (7) or the
vehicle power system is switched to the OFF position, the
system may clear the adaptive cruise control set speed in
the memory.

Special Driving Environments

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system has it's
limitations. Listed below are some conditions that may
be beyond the safe operating limits. The driver should
maintain control of the vehicle and must remain alert at
all times. They should pay special attention to the traffic
conditions and surroundings, select the appropriate speed
and be ready to take any required actions.

190

When turning at an intersection or following a vehicle into,
or out of a curve, the ACC system may be unable to detect
the vehicle ahead, even if it is in the same lane, it is possible
the system may detect a vehicle in another lane.
Note: Do not use the adaptive cruise control system
on entrance/exit ramps or sharp bends.
STARTING & DRIVING
If the vehicle ahead changes lanes, but does not drive into

detect the vehicle.
If the vehicle ahead changes lanes, but does not exit the
lane completely, the adaptive cruise control system may
determine that the vehicle ahead has exited the lane and
accelerate to any preset speed.
When driving on uneven roads that may include steep
climbs or dips please DO NOT use the ACC system.

When driving behind a vehicle that is only partially
overlapping your vehicle, 'A' in the graphic, the ACC
system may be unable to detect anything.
Note: Please DO NOT use the adaptive cruise control
system in the following situations:
• The ambient light level is insufficiently low,
extremely bright, or the forward lighting of the
vehicle is poor or compromised.
192
• The front view camera in the windscreen and/or
radar sensor in the front bumper have a restricted
field of vision, or severe weather such as heavy fog,
heavy rain, heavy snow, ice, etc are affecting the
sensor's field of view.
• In conditions where the demist function of the
windscreen is impaired.
• When driving the vehicle on a low-friction road
(rapid changes in tyre traction may result in
excessive wheel slip).
• When driving on a strong reflective road surface as
a result of rain, snow, or ice.
• When the radar may be affected by electromagnetic
interference (for example, metal objects such as
rails and metal plates for road construction).
• After the position of radar has changed (for
example, collision, vibration).
• Radar signals could be incorrectly reflected by local
conditions (e.g., in multi-storey car parks, tunnels,
water jets from sprinklers, etc.) these may degrade
the function of the radar sensor.

Parking Aid System
Ultrasonic Sensor Parking Aid
The purpose of the parking aid is to assist the
driver in reversing! The sensors may not be
able to detect obstacles of certain type, e.g.
narrow posts or small objects no more than
a few inches wide, small objects close to the
ground, objects above the tailgate and some
objects with non-reflective surfaces.
Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow.
If deposits build up on the surface of the
sensors, their performance may be impaired.
When washing the car, avoid aiming high
pressure water jets directly at the sensors
from close range.
STARTING & DRIVING
Rear Parking Aid
The ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper monitor the area
behind the vehicle to search for obstacles. If any obstacle
is detected, the system will calculate its distance from the
rear of the vehicle and communicates the message to the
driver by sounding warning chimes.
Parking Aid in Operation
When the start/stop switch is in the ON/READY position,
the rear parking aid is enabled automatically when reverse
4
is selected, it is switched off as soon as reverse is
disengaged. A short beep is given by the parking aid within
1 second after selecting reverse to indicate that the system
is operating normally.
The entertainment system screen will display a silhouette
image of the car showing the object distance values for the
sensor.
Note: If a longer, higher pitched sound is emitted for 3
seconds when reverse is selected this indicates a fault
in the system. In this case seek assistance from your
MG Authorised Repairer.

Parking Camera System
The purpose of the parking camera system is
to assist the driver in reversing! The camera
has limited field of view and cannot detect
obstacles outside the field of view.

Rear Driver Assistance System *
System Overview
The rear driver assistance sensors may
misidentify some surroundings, such as
roadside buildings or guardrails and provide
a false alarm.
The effective recognition capabilities of the
rear sensors can be limited by objects such
as roadside buildings, guardrails, changes in
pitch angle of the car due to heavy loading,
road conditions such as bends or bumps or
weather conditions such as snow and ice etc.
Any of the above may trigger a false alarm.
The system has limitations and may not be
able to warn of vehicles approaching at high
speeds.
196
The rear driver assistance function is only an
aide, it is NOT a substitute for the attention
of the driver. The driver must always remain
in control, observe the surroundings and drive
safely.
The rear driver assist system may not provide
adequate warning of very fast approaching
vehicles or operate correctly on tight curves
of 500m radius or less.
The rear driver assist system will not operate
correctly whilst towing a trailer or caravan.
The correct operation of the rear sensors will
be compromised if they are misaligned due to
accident damage. This may cause the system
to automatically shutdown.
To ensure that the radar sensors work
correctly, the rear bumper should be kept
free of snow and ice and must not be covered.
 STARTING & DRIVING
Use of non recommended materials or
paint on rear bumper repairs may have a
detrimental effect on the operation of the
rear sensors. Please only use recommended
materials.

The rear driver assistance system includes blind spot

detection (BSD), lane change assist (LCA), and rear cross
traffic alert (RCTA) functions.
The rear driver assistance modules are mounted at the
rear of the vehicle on each side, they can assist in detecting
vehicles behind or to the side of your vehicle.
The warning lamps to support this system are located
within the LH and RH door mirror glasses, they will
illuminate or flash to warn of an approaching object or car
to assist you in manoeuvring the car safely.
4
Note: The radar requires calibration on new vehicles
or for vehicles of where a rear detecting radar
sensor has been replaced. The rear detection radar
sensors possess an automatic calibration function to
compensate for installation error within a certain
range. When the vehicle is running, the radar will
automatically enter the calibration state. During the
calibration process, the system will provide limited
functions, and the alarm may be inaccurate. Upon

197

you are overtaking another vehicle and your speed is
greater than that of the vehicle you are passing, even
though it is in the blind zone.
200
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
When the vehicle is driving forward, the system will
monitor the motor vehicles approaching rapidly in the
adjacent lanes. When the indicators are activated, and the
conditions for activating the lane change assist function
are met, the system will flash the warning lamp within the

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
TPMS cannot replace routine maintenance
and check of the tyre condition or pressure.
If radio transmission devices such as mobile
telephones or wireless headsets are used in
close proximity to the vehicle it may result
in interference with the TPMS and could
register as a fault.
Note: TPMS only gives the driver a warning when the
tyre pressure is low, it will not inflate the tyre.
TPMS uses pressure sensors built into tyre valves to
continuously monitor pressure and transmits signal to ECU
inside the vehicle using RF signals. If it deduces that the
pressure of that tyre has fallen below the predefined limit
of the system, the warning light on the instrument pack will
illuminate (always yellow). For more information, please
refer to ‘Instrument Pack’ in ‘Instruments and Controls’
section. Check your tyres at the earliest opportunity and
STARTING & DRIVING
reinflate to the correct pressure. Please refer to ‘Tyre
Pressure (Cold)’ in ‘Technical Data’ section.
System Malfunction
This system is self-monitoring, if a malfunction
is detected, the TPMS warning lamp (yellow) on the
instrument pack will flash for 90 seconds first and then
remain illuminated..
4
Note: When a puncture is detected, the system will
require some time to analyse information prior to
illuminating the warning lamp.
Under certain conditions the warning light may illuminate
when a fault is not present, these conditions include:
• A non recommended tyre fitted (including spare tyre).
• Rough terrain driving for excessive periods.
• Bending or mountain type terrain driving for excessive
periods.
• TPMS will not respond immediately if a tyre 'blows out'.
203
STARTING & DRIVING
TPMS Self-learning
The TPMS system is a 'self learning' system, after resetting
tyre pressures it will be necessary to allow the system to
go through a self learning process. This is done by driving
the car, during this process the system is suspended and the
data displayed may not be correct. If sensors or receiver
module are replaced the system requires programming,
consult an MG Authorised Repairer. If the wheels are
swapped or rotated the system requires reprogramming
to learn the new transmitter positions, consult an MG
Authorised Repairer.

Departure Prevention System (LDP), Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKA), MG Pilot System, Forward Collision
Warning System (FCW), Automatic Emergency Braking
System (AEB) and Automatic Emergency Braking System
for Pedestrians (AEBP). Under certain conditions, the
driving assist system can detect the road and environmental
information ahead of the vehicle by utilising a front view
camera and a front detection radar. This information is
used to relay warning messages or provide assistance to
help the driver control the vehicle more safely and reliably.
The front view camera is located at the upper middle
of the windscreen (in the interior rearview mirror base
cover)， the front detection radar is located at the lower
middle of the front bumper.

Speed Assist System (SAS)
The intelligent speed limit is an auxiliary
function, it may display an incorrect speed
limit value or no speed limit value in the
instrument pack due to various factors. As
a result, the vehicle speed is not restricted
within the correct range. The driver still
needs to observe the speed limit of the road
traffic, and speeding is strictly prohibited.
The front view camera cannot recognise
speed limit signs painted on the road surface.
The driver MUST observe these speed limits
and adjust the their speed accordingly.
The speed assist system settings are available via the
infotainment system. When the adaptive cruise control
system is OFF, the following three functions can be
selected:
5/
208
1 Speed Limit Information Function (SLIF): The vehicle
detects a speed limit sign (as shown above) at the
roadside with the front view camera. The speed limit
sign identified will be displayed on the instrument pack.
When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit by a
preset amount, a visual warning in the instrument pack
will alert the driver to control the speed manually.
2 Manual Speed Assist (MSA): The driver sets the
maximum speed using the adaptive cruise control
lever. The system will actively intervene and keep the
vehicle speed within the permitted maximum speed
limit. And an acoustic warning and a visual warning
will be available during the intervention. Please refer
to the section “Speed settings of manual speed assist”.
3 Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA): The vehicle detects a
speed limit sign (as shown above) at the roadside
with the front view camera. The speed limit sign
identified will be displayed on the instrument pack.
The system will automatically intervene and maintain
speed control to keep the vehicle speed within the
permitted maximum speed limit. And an acoustic

warning and a visual warning will be available during
the intervention.

intelligent speed assist function is enabled, the speed limit
value indication illuminates. The “NNN” is displayed as
“—”. When the vehicle passes the first speed limit sign
identified, the speed limit indication displays the real-time
speed limit value.

210

Note: When the vehicle needs to change lane, make a
turn or turn around at an intersection and the driver
uses an indicator in advance and slows down, the
original speed limit value on the instrument pack will
be reset and displayed as “—” until a new speed limit
sign is detected. If the conditions are not met, the
original speed limit value will be maintained and not
be reset. The driver MUST observe the speed limits
and adjust the their speed accordingly.
When the intelligent speed assist function is
enabled, the system indicator lamp on the instrument pack
illuminates green. If the intelligent speed assist function
detects a fault or failure, the indicator lamp will flash yellow
then extinguish. Please try to restart this function. If
this function cannot be turned on, please contact an MG

2 The vehicle is driven at a high speed.
3 The speed limit signs are blocked by trees along the
road, ice/frost, snow, dust, etc.
4 The speed limit signs are incorrectly placed or
damaged.
5 There are multiple speed limit signs above the lane or
on the sides of the road. Currently, the front view

camera can only recognise the speed limit signs for the
lane in which the vehicle is being driven.
6 Non standard speed limit signs or signs that contain
additional information.
7 The speed limit signs set up at a fork in the road, on a
bend or on-ramp/off-ramp.
8 During manoeuvres such as lane-changing.
IMPORTANT
• The camera may not correctly recognise speed limit
signs during poor lighting conditions, bad weather,
non-standardized or sheltered speed limit signs
or the camera’s own restrictions which include
the recognition of similar signs (e.g., recognise a
weight limit sign as a speed limit sign, or recognise a
minimum speed sign as the maximum speed sign).
• Some drastic or rapid steering operations made by
the driver may be judged as changing lane or turning
around at an intersection by the system. This will
result in the identified speed limit signs being cleared.

Lane Departure Warning System (LDW)
The lane departure warning system is an
auxiliary system that provides assistance
to the driver. It does NOT remove the
responsibility of safe driving from the driver.
When choosing to use the lane departure
warning system, the driver MUST always
pay attention to the surroundings, hold the
steering wheel and be prepared to make
manoeuvres at any time. Failure to maintain 4
overall control of the vehicle may result in
an accident or personal injury.
The lane departure warning system does not
always recognise the lane line. Sometimes
poor road surfaces, certain road structures or
objects may be mistaken for lane lines. When
such situations occur, the lane departure
warning system must be immediately turned
off.
213

Lane Departure Prevention System (LDP)
The lane departure prevention system is an
auxiliary system that provides assistance
to the driver. It does NOT remove the
responsibility of safe driving from the driver.
When choosing to use the lane departure
prevention system, the driver MUST always
pay attention to the surroundings, hold the
steering wheel and be prepared to make
manoeuvres at any time. Failure to maintain
overall control of the vehicle may result in
an accident or personal injury.
The lane departure prevention system
does not always recognise the lane lines.
Sometimes poor road surfaces, certain road
structures or objects may be mistaken for
lane lines. When such situations occur, the
lane departure prevention system must be
immediately turned off.
STARTING & DRIVING
The lane departure prevention system uses the front
view camera to detect the lane lines ahead of the vehicle.
The system will operate when the following detection
conditions are met:
• The function is switched ON.
• Vehicle speed is above 37mph (60km/h).
• Lane line markings are clear.
As long as the system recognises at least one lane line
the indicator lamp in the instrument pack will illuminate
green. When a wheel is about to cross the lane line, 4
or has already crossed the line, the system will provide
assistance to the driver by keeping the vehicle in between
the lane lines by applying corrective steering intervention
and simultaneously displaying a prompt. The function will
automatically exit when the vehicle speed drops below
33mph (55km/h).
In cases of two or more consecutive interventions within
an accumulated interval of 180 seconds and in the absence
of detecting any steering input by the driver during the
intervention, an acoustic warning is sounded during the
second intervention, and any further interventions within
the 180 seconds. If there is need for, and starting with

MG Pilot System
The assistant technology used in the MG
pilot system cannot replace the driver’s
judgment on the road and traffic conditions.
The system can provide assistance for the
driver but cannot replace the driver in driving.
When choosing to use the MG pilot system,
due to the limitations of system detection
and control, the driver must always be
careful. Failure to maintain overall control
of the vehicle may result in an accident or
personal injury.
The MG pilot system is a driver assistance
function, it’s not auto pilot. There are many
situations where the function is restricted or
exits. The driver needs to hold the steering
wheel at all times and correct or take over
the steering wheel control if necessary.
The MG pilot system needs to be used in conjunction with
the adaptive cruise control system. The MG pilot system
STARTING & DRIVING
works on the basis of the adaptive cruise control system.
If the lane lines ahead on both sides are clear, the system
can assist the vehicle in driving within the lane lines. When
driving at a speed lower than 37mph (60km/h), if there is a
vehicle ahead and the lane lines ahead on both sides aren’t
clear, the system also can assist the vehicle in following the
track of the vehicle ahead.
Note: The driver should adjust the vehicle speed and
the following distance according to the road visibility,
weather and road conditions. The MG pilot system 4
does not respond to pedestrians, animals, stationary
vehicles and vehicles that drive across the lane or
oncoming vehicles in the same lane. If the MG pilot
system cannot reduce the vehicle speed adequately,
the driver MUST apply the brakes. In congested
conditions, should another vehicle cut into the lane
being used by the vehicle under MG pilot control, the
system may not detect the vehicle in adequate time
to make a braking manoeuvre. In this case the brakes
should be applied by the driver.
In the absence of a steering input from the driver for some
seconds, an acoustic warning is provided, the instrument
225
STARTING & DRIVING
pack provides a yellow prompt. If the system still fails to MG pilot system setting
see an input from the driver, the acoustic warning becomes

the driver is not able to keep their hands on the steering
wheel and automatically exit the function. Accompanied by
the exit, a more urgent acoustic warning is provided for at 1 2
least 5s or until the driver holds the steering control again.
Note: When the driver uses this function to follow
the track of the vehicle in front, the driver MUST pay
attention to the surrounding environment. Overall
responsibility for direction and braking of the car
remains with the driver.

The operating interface for the MG pilot system is located

in the infotainment display. Enter the vehicle setting
interface to locate the driving assist option, scroll across
the page to find the setting interface for the MG Pilot
system. The driver may select to turn it on/off. To use
the MG pilot system, the adaptive cruise control system

STARTING & DRIVING
Forward Collision Warning System (FCW)
The driver should pay full attention and drive
carefully even if the vehicle is equipped with
the forward collision warning system.
The forward collision warning system detects other
vehicles and pedestrians ahead using the forward detection
radar and front view camera. When the speed is above
18mph (30km/h) and the vehicle is approaching the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead rapidly, the system will prompt the 4
driver to slow down in time and keep a relatively safe
distance from the vehicle or pedestrian ahead by emitting
an audible alert and displaying a prompt in the information
message centre in the instrument pack.
Note: When the vehicle speed is between 18 and
52mph (30 and 85km/h), stationary targets can be
detected. When the vehicle speed is between 18
and 93mph (30 and 150km/h), moving targets can be

Changing a Wheel
If you need to change the wheel during the journey, choose
a safe place to stop away from the main road if possible.
Always ask your passengers to get out of the car and wait
in a safe area away from other traffic.
Switch on hazard warning lamps. If available, position
vehicle to warn approaching traffic.
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position. Apply the parking brake and place
the gear shift lever of transmission in N position.
Observe the following precautions:
• Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level ground.
• If the vehicle must be parked on the hill, place chocks
in front of and behind other 3 wheels to prevent the
vehicle moving.

252

Positioning the Jack
NEVER work beneath the car with the jack
as the only means of support. The jack is
designed for wheel changing only!
NEVER jack the car using any jacking points
other than the jacking points. Serious
damage to the car could result.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Avoid accidental contact with any underbody
parts, especially hot exhaust system
components.
Position the jack on firm level ground under the jacking
point nearest the wheel to be removed. Note that the
domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding
recess in the sill plate (There is a triangle indicator in the
area shown by the arrowhead. See the illustration above).
Turning the jack screw by hand, adjust the jack until the jack
head fits snugly onto the sill in the correct area. Ensure that
the base of the jack is in full contact with the level ground.

Tyres
Overview
• Take extra care when using new tyres for the first 300
miles (500 kilometers).
• Avoid excessive cornering at speed.
• Slow down when passing through road shoulder or a
similar section, and allow the wheels to go through the
shoulder at the right angle as far as possible.
• Regularly check the damage of tyres (stabs, scratches,
cracks and pits) and remove any foreign objects from
the tread.
• Prevent the tyre from contacting oil, grease and fuel.
• Ensure valve caps are always fitted.
• If the tyre is to be removed always mark the tyre/wheel
orientation to ensure correct reinstallation.
• The wheels or tyres that have been disassembled should
be kept in a cool, dry and light-free place.
New Tyres
New tyres may not have the best adhesive ability at the
beginning. Therefore, driving your vehicle at moderate
MAINTENANCE
speed and in a prudent way at the first 300 miles (500
kilometers), which is also beneficial to the service life of
the tyres.
The damage of tyre or rim may happen unnoticed. If
abnormal vibration or handling is experienced, that means
the tyre or rim may have been damaged. Please slow down
and park your vehicle in absolute safety, then check the
tyre and rim. If you can't see the damage from the outside,
you should continue to drive with low speed and go to the
nearest MG Authorised Repairer for inspection.
Directional Tyres
Directional tyres are marked with ‘direction of rotation'
(DOR). To maintain handling characteristics, tyre
performance, low road noise and extend tyre life, tyres 6
must always be fitted with indication arrow showing the
correct ‘DOR'.
Tyre Life
Correct tyre pressure and moderate driving style can
extend tyre life.
Recommendations:
299
MAINTENANCE
• If the vehicle is to be stored for a lengthy time, please
move your vehicle at least once in two weeks to ‘rotate
the tyres'.
• Check the pressure of tyres regularly when they are
cold.
• Avoid cornering at excessive speed.
• Regularly check tyres for abnormal wear patterns.
These following factors may affect the tyre life.
Tyre Pressure
Incorrect pressure will cause the abnormal wear of the
tyre, greatly shorten the service life, and have an adverse
effect on the driving characteristics of the vehicle. Tyre
pressure should be checked at least once a month, and
once prior to each long-distance journey.
Driving Style
Excessively harsh acceleration and braking or driving at high
speed whilst cornering will increase the wear of tyre.
Wheel Balance
The balance of wheels and tyres are well tested before a
new vehicle comes out of the factory. But the wheels may
be out of balance due to many factors.
If wheels are out of balance, shaking or vibration of the
steering mechanism may occur and the tyres may start to
wear excessively. It is important to rectify this quickly. Each
wheel should be rebalanced after installing a new tyre or
having a tyre repair.
Wheel Alignment
Incorrect wheel alignment can cause excessive tyre wear
and affect vehicle safety. If the tyres show signs of abnormal
wear, seek advice from an MG Authorised Repairer.
Caring for Your Tyres
DEFECTIVE TYRES ARE DANGEROUS!
DO NOT drive if any tyre is damaged, is
excessively worn, or is inflated to an incorrect
pressure.

300

Always drive with consideration for the condition of the
tyres, and regularly inspect the tread and side walls for any
sign of distortion (bulges), cuts or wear.
Note: If possible, protect tyres from contamination by
oil, grease and fuel.
Tyre Pressure
Before a long distance journey, the tyre
pressure must be checked.
MAINTENANCE
Punctured Tyres
If a sharp object penetrates the tyre and remains in it, the
tyre may not leak. If you are aware of this occurring, reduce
speed immediately and drive with caution until the spare
wheel can be fitted, or repairs undertaken.
Note: If the sidewall of the tyre is damaged or
distorted, replace the tyre immediately, DO NOT
attempt a repair.

Check the pressure (including the spare wheel) at least

once a month, when the tyres are cold.
If it is necessary to check the tyre pressure when they are
warm, you should expect the pressure to have increased by
0.3 to 0.4 bar (4.35 to 5.8 psi). In this circumstance, NEVER 6
let air out of the tyres in order to match the recommended
pressure (cold).

Valves
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly - they prevent dirt
from entering the valve. Check the valve for leaks (listen
for a tell-tale hissing) when you check the tyre pressure.

Wheel Fitment Rotation
It is not recommended that you swap wheels from side
to side or front to rear in order to equalise tyre wear.
Your vehicle is fitted with Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
which means that each wheel is programmed to the relative
position.
If you do wish to swap wheels and tyres around on the
vehicle please consult an MG Authorised Repairer as extra
coding will be required.
MAINTENANCE
Snow Chains
Unsuitable snow chains could damage the tyres, wheels,
suspension, brakes or bodywork of your car.
Please pay attention to the following requirements in the
usage:
• The tyre/snow chains can only be fitted on the front
wheels;
• The thickness of tyre/snow chains should not exceed 15
mm;
• Always adhere to the snow chain fitting and
re-tensioning instructions and the speed limitations for
varying road conditions;
• DO NOT exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) ;
• To avoid the tyre damage and excessive wear of
the tyre/snow chains, the tyre/snow chains must be

Observe all safety precautions on cleaning
products; do not drink fluids, store safely,
keep away from children and avoid contact
with the eyes.
Exterior Care
Washing your Car
Ensure the vehicle power system is OFF when
washing your car.
Some high pressure cleaning systems will
penetrate door, window and sunroof seals,
and damage lock mechanisms. DO NOT aim
water jets directly at components that might
be easily damaged.
Do not clean the front compartment with
high pressure water since it may damage the
electrical system of the vehicle.
304
In order to preserve the paint finish on your car, please
observe the following care points:
• DO NOT use hot water to wash the car.
• DO NOT use detergents or washing up liquid.
• In hot weather, DO NOT wash the car in direct sunlight.
• When using a hose, DO NOT aim the water directly
at window, door or sunroof seals, or through wheel
apertures onto the brake components.
If the car is particularly dirty, use a hose to flush grime and
grit from the bodywork, prior to washing. Then, wash the
car using cold or lukewarm water containing a good quality
wash and wax shampoo. Always use plenty of water to
ensure that grit is flushed from the surface and not ground
into the paintwork. After washing, rinse the bodywork
with clean water and dry off with a chamois leather.
Cleaning the underside
Note: DO NOT use a high pressure hose to clean the
front compartment – damage to the car’s electronic
systems may occur.

From time to time, but particularly during winter months
when salt has been used on the roads, use a hose to wash
the underside of the car. Flush away accumulations of mud
and thoroughly clean those areas where debris can easily
collect (wheel arches and panel seams, for example).
IMPORTANT
• Avoid cleaning the vehicle in direct sunlight.
• When cleaning the vehicle in winter avoid spraying
water directly onto door locks and panel gaps due
to risk of icing.
• Do not use rough sponges or cloth to clean the car,
this will damage the paintwork finish.
• When cleaning the headlamps do not use a dry cloth
or sponge, use only warm soapy water.
Cleaning with a High Pressure Cleaner
Note: Always read the manufacturers operating
instructions.
MAINTENANCE
When using high pressure washers, always ensure there is
adequate distance between the spray nozzle and any soft
materials, decals or rubber seals.
IMPORTANT
• Please pay attention to the operating instructions of
high pressure cleaner.
• Soft parts on the vehicle should be kept in a large
enough distance from the high pressure cleaner.
DO NOT direct the pressure washer nozzle directly
toward the high voltage battery connections on the
underside of the vehicle.
Removing tar spots
Use white spirit to remove tar spots and stubborn grease 6
stains from the paintwork. Then wash the area immediately
with soapy water to remove all traces of the spirit.
Body Protection
After washing, examine the paintwork for damage. If the
damage has revealed bare metal, use a colored primer first,
305
MAINTENANCE
then apply the correct colour base coat and finish off with
a lacquer pencil, if appropriate. Carry out this treatment
after washing but before polishing or waxing. More
extensive damage to paint or bodywork must be repaired
in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Failure to do this will invalidate the Anti-Corrosion
Warranty. If in doubt, ask your MG Authorised Repairer.
Polishing the Paintwork
DO NOT use car polish containing coarse
abrasives – these will remove the paint film
and damage the gloss finish.
Occasionally treat the paint surface with an approved polish
containing the following properties:
• Very mild abrasives to remove surface contamination
without removing or damaging the paint.
• Filling compounds that will fill scratches and reduce
their visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating between the paint
and the elements.
306
Note: If possible, avoid applying polish or wax
products to window glass and rubber seals.
Wiper Blades
Wash in warm soapy water. DO NOT use spirit or petrol
